November Happenings!
November was an exciting month that provided unique opportunities to share the Blue Watch mission.
On November 3, Shades Mountain Baptist Church hosted a luncheon for local mission partners. This provided a great opportunity for Blue Watch to network with other local ministries. It also allowed us to share all of the exciting things that have happened and what is planned for the year ahead.
On November 21, Burke Swearingen had the privilege to meet several officers and their wives during a weekend retreat held at Children’s Harbor on beautiful Lake Martin. This retreat, organized by Cater2Cops, allowed these law enforcement families to get away, relax and re-energized their marriages.
Blue Watch shared their mission and presented each family with a copy of “Bulletproof Marriage”, “On Spiritual Combat” and “Courageous Living Bible Study.” A special thanks goes to Randy Stroup, Cater2Cops founder, for allowing us to be their guest.
गोलीबारी में जीत
In November copies of “Winning A Gunfight” were sent to the Tuscaloosa Police Department.
On November 17, the police department received a call of an unruly person at a local bar. The suspect drove away from the bar and would not stop for officers as he drove to an area apartment complex and went inside. Attempts to make contact with him were unsuccessful. The suspect’s roommates left the apartment and told officers he was armed with an AR-15 and a pistol. During the standoff the suspect opened fire on the officers and aimed a loaded firearm at them. At that point officers opened fire striking the suspect. No officers were injured, but the suspect was transported to a local hospital.

The Challenges They Face!
The law enforcement community faces unique challenges, and it is vital we give them resources that supports and encourages them. Here are just a few of the challenges the law enforcement community faces:
- Divorce rate is higher than the national average. Some places it is as high as 75%.
- Suicide 2.5-3x that of officers murdered in the line of duty.
- Domestic violence 2x the national average.
- As of December 1, 314 officers have been shot in the line of duty resulting in 58 deaths. This puts us on pace to have a record number of police shootings in one year.
At Blue Watch we believe it is important officers experience “a clear mind and a whole heart.” When they do, the officer is more likely to make the right decision in that critical moment. We believe that a right relationship with Christ is a key component to having a clear mind and a whole heart.
Help us show officers and their families how that is possible because we want officers to experience the relevance of God in their lives.
उलझना
ब्लू वॉच मिशन का समर्थन करने के कई तरीके हैं:
- प्रार्थना करना - हमें प्रार्थना योद्धाओं की आवश्यकता है जो निरंतर आधार पर और विशेष अवसरों पर हमारे लिए प्रार्थना करेंगे।
- स्वयंसेवक - हमें ऐसे लोगों की ज़रूरत है जो हमारी वेबसाइट, सोशल मीडिया और मंत्रालय के अन्य पहलुओं को प्रबंधित करने में मदद करेंगे। अगर ब्लू वॉच का मिशन आपकी रुचि का है और आपके पास देने के लिए कौशल है, तो ब्लू वॉच पर विचार करें।
- दान करें - यह सब करने के लिए पैसे की ज़रूरत होती है। प्रभु ने 2020 में हमें बहुत आशीर्वाद दिया, लेकिन हमारी प्रगति को जारी रखने के लिए ज़्यादा दान की ज़रूरत होगी। आप ऑनलाइन या चेक के ज़रिए दान कर सकते हैं।
यदि इनमें से कोई भी आपकी रुचि का विषय है, तो कृपया हमें ईमेल करें: info@bluewatchfoundation.org.
ब्लू वॉच एक 501c(3) गैर-लाभकारी संस्था है। सभी दान कर-कटौती योग्य हैं।
ब्लू वॉच का मिशन अधिकारियों और उनके परिवारों को उनके जीवन में ईश्वर की प्रासंगिकता और लाभों का अनुभव कराने में मदद करना है।
